The only transformer and alchemist that turns everything into gold is love. The only magic against death, aging, ordinary life, is love.

-Anaïs Nin

I created this space to offer my dream-seed to the universe. I am a beginner at both painting and writing and willing to keep this beginner’s mind forever. Attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions is a concept from Zen Buddhism called Shoshin. The practice of shoshin acts as a counter to the hubris and closed-mindedness often associated with thinking of oneself as an expert, where a person becomes so accustomed to a certain way of doing things that they do not consider or acknowledge new ideas or approaches.

My wish is to create a gateway, an opening, a portal from one understanding to another.

-Dominika Alicja Beata
